I de sidste ti år af sit liv forvandlede den danske guldaldermaler Johan Thomas Lundbye sig fra at være ungdommelig håbefuld i forhold til livet og lykken til at blive et individ, der grublende ste at træffe et eksistentielt valg: kvinden, kunsten eller evigheden? Filosoffen Sen Kierkegaard var Lundbyes samtidige, og gennem læsning af hans skrifter erfarede Lundbye, at han ikke stod alene med sine bestræbelser på at afklare tilværelsens mening og hensigt. I let af tiåret kæmpede Lundbye med et væld af længsler, som viste sig produktive i forhold til hans rige arbejde som kunstner. men voldte ham store vanskeligheder som menneske. Længsel. Lundbye og Kierkegaard består af to dele. Fste del skildrer over tre essays af henholdsvis kunsthistoriker Hans Edvard Nregård-Nielsen, museumsinspekt Bente Bramming og filosof Ettore Rocca Lundbyes udvikling som såvel kunstner som menneske og kaster samtidig et nyt lys over Lundbyes me med Kierkegaards forfatterskab. Gennem analyser af Lundbyes malerier og tegninger underses det, om påvirkningen kan spores i Lundbyes kunst, og ikke mindt hvad læsningen af Kierkegaard bet for de skæbnesvangre valg, Lundbye traf mod slutningen af sit liv.Bogens anden del indeholder hidtil aldrig offentliggjorte uddrag af Lundbyes dagber og digte samt to små afhandlinger om kunst og skhed, der giver et unikt blik ind i Lundbyes overvejelser om kunst, liv og længsel.

The essays in this book have been chosen to reflect Unn's wide range of research interests in the field of medieval painting. They present an in-depth analysis of many aspects of medieval painting technique, at the same time providing a much-needed entry into the rich Scandinavian scholarship which has been largely unavailable in English. Further context is offered by the inclusion of important English comparative material and of broader studies of medieval painting and aspects of analysis, all extensively illustrated with color reproductions. These contributions comprise definitive studies by some of the most prominent medieval scholars in Europe and entirely new technical investigations of important medieval objects. Divided into three main categories - technical studies of individual objects, technical art history and analysis and art history - this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in medieval painting and polychromy.
